GovInfo shows H.R. 4173 became the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, enacted on July 15, 2010, with the stated purpose of promoting financial stability, ending too-big-to-fail, protecting taxpayers from bailouts, and protecting consumers from abusive financial practices.

The core financial-crisis-prevention law was enacted, satisfying the legislative part of the promise.

Foster's congressional issues page says the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 was a step in the right direction and that he has been proud to serve on the Financial Services Committee.

Later official materials reaffirm that Foster views Dodd-Frank as the law that put in place the guardrails the claim describes.

The promise was to pass laws preventing another 2008-style financial collapse from harming working families. During Foster's same congressional term, Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on July 15, 2010, with purposes directly aligned to financial stability, ending too-big-to-fail, taxpayer protection, and consumer protection. Foster voted yea on final House passage and later identified Dodd-Frank as the relevant guardrail legislation. Because the law was enacted, this is delivered rather than merely an attempted effort.
